Oke Afa, Lagos State – Ahead of the 2027 elections, Prophet Elijah Ayodele, leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, asserted that the North will stand by President Bola Tinubu’s re-election.

Prophet Ayodele said:

“Northerners have not started with Tinubu. They are the ones that will decide his future. 1 billion of Yoruba cannot decide Tinubu’s future, that maybe Tinubu will win. The northerners will decide, and their decision is for him not to win. So, what is he going to do? All this noise you are making in Yoruba…Come out with City Boy Movement, come out with anything, City boys will not make you to win (sic).

“North will decide the future of Tinubu’s second term. After God, the north.”

Legit.ng reports that supporters of President Tinubu hail him as Nigeria’s top political strategist, a technocrat, an astute administrator, and a talent nurturer, giving him credit for stabilising the nation’s economy. Critics, however, paint a different picture, raising concerns over his age, ancestry, educational background, alleged mediocre governance, and health.

Tinubu played a pivotal role in the formation of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2015, a coalition of opposition parties that ended the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) 16-year hold on Nigeria’s presidency, a historic first since the country returned to democratic rule in 1999. He is widely regarded as the political kingmaker behind the late former President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2015 victory and his successful 2019 re-election bid.

Now serving as Nigeria’s 16th president since 2023, the 74-year-old’s first term is set to conclude on May 29, 2027, setting the stage for a highly anticipated political showdown.
